Cristiano Ronaldo told to snub Chelsea for Bayern Munich

Lothar Matthaus wants to see Ronaldo at Bayern Munich.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Old Trafford this summer and failed to turn up in the Monday pre-season training with the Manchester United squad.

He scored 24 goals in 38 appearances for United last season but due to failure of Champions League qualification, the Portuguese star has asked to leave Old Trafford.

According to reports, Chelsea are the frontrunners in securing the former Real Madrid star.

Bayern Munich and PSG have also been mooted as possible destinations for the 37-year-old star.

German legend Lothar Matthaus has urged Ronaldo to secure a move to the Bavarians this summer.

Matthaus told Sky Germany: “Ronaldo to Bayern would be sexy! At least you should think through the options and play through them once.

“If you at Bayern are of the opinion that Cristiano Ronaldo is still physically able to really help for a year or two and that you can invest the transfer fee generated for Lewandowski more or less one-to-one in the Portuguese megastar, I would think about it.”
